Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāJinaputra (जिनपुत्र) refers to the “Son of the Victorious One”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then on that occasion the Lord uttered these verses: [...] (89) Son of the Victorious One (jinaputra), the recollection of the Buddha is without the nature of form or essential character. Where there is no moving of thought or mind, there is the recollection of the Buddha. (90) The dharma which is free from desire, essentially transcendent, always peaceful and calm, the absence of distinguishing marks, and is free from any objective support is the recollection of the dharma. [...]”.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
